ANTONI TÀPIES | Maqueta per a la litografia del llibre "Novel. la"

Private Collection, Spain
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter and cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is attached verso to the backing board and has sellotape on all four corner tips. All surface irregularities and creases appear original. Very close inspection reveals a few minute specks of yellowing to the left sheet and a few tiny spots of yellowing to the top extreme edge of the right hand sheet.
